Or you buy the ones I mentioned where you do the test over FaceTime etc. and then the results are sent to you via the linked account
Just a fucking cash grab

Well we're going to Iceland in two months where rapid tests are supposedly given out for free but we're going to fork over about $90 for extra "quarantine insurance".
So win for insurance companies and hotels.

when you have multiple insurance policies for travel like that, do all of them try to avoid paying out and point the finger to the other insurance agency?
i always thought it was best to have just 1 policy to avoid the infighting.

Luckily I’ve never had to use them but the RBC avion actually had quite good reviews when it comes to their insurance response so usually if I’m booking travel I’ll book it on that card

LOL, I tried so hard to pay it so many phone calls, no dice and the charges are gone forever.
My brother in law has used the avion insurance to replace shirts he shrunk in the dryer, they cover so much.

Westopher can start spitting in my food again! 
Anyone federally regulated will likely still require them. What I find super annoying is not requiring them at a “work space” but then stil requiring them to move about the office. It’s pointless.
I’m flying out Tom morning at 930 am..I wonder if the airport will not require them?..

Then they write an article and as soon as presser is finished, it's posted.
